Message from the Head Teacher and NHS Lothian
We are aware of a person from the school who has tested positive for COVID-19. We understand that this is a worrying time but would like to reassure you that we are working closely with NHS Lothian Health Protection Team and following all national guidance.
We are currently undertaking the process of track and trace to identify possible close contacts.
Once track and trace has been completed we will communicate individually with everyone identified as a close contact, to provide advice and guidance on self-isolation.
An update will be sent to you as soon as the tracking and tracing process is complete.
If you are not contacted directly to tell you your child is a close contact, then there is no requirement to self-isolate and your child should attend school as normal if they are well.
Enhanced cleaning and infection control measures are in place in line with national guidance. The school is safe and remains open.
If you have any concerns in the meantime, or if you need to book a COVID-19 test because your child has developed symptoms (high temperature, a new continuous cough and/or a loss or change in sense of smell or taste) please visit the NHS Inform website or for non-clinical advice call 0800 028 2816.
Please note that a test should only be booked if you or your child has these specific symptoms.
Remember to stay at home if anyone in the household has symptoms of COVID-19.
